The rain from last night continues into this morning. I am taking a rest day. It has been about 2 weeks since Mackinac Island so I am ready for a rest day as well.
Here are some ride statistics to date:
Total Miles: 4,908
National Parks: 6
National Monuments: 4
State Parks: ? (sorry, I lost track on this)
Crossed Continental Divide: 7 Times
Highest Elevation: 12,187 Ft ASL
Notes: It is not lost on me that you can ride across the country in 3,000 miles or so. When I first started the ride I never calculated the exact distance I would ride, but figured it would be around 4,000 miles because I intended to take a longer route. I now estimate the entire ride will now be around 5,750 miles which does not include any riding I do after reaching Acadia National Park.
Greg,
Have followed you your entire route by reading everyone of your posts. I imagine as hard as the ride can be at times it takes an even greater effort to keep up with your daily blog posts. I really appreciate that extra effort as I have been traveling vicariously along with you every day. I am very jealous. A tour such as yours is a dream of mine. Happy travels!
I second that comment. It has been great to ‘ride along’ the easy way.
